Description

Avalanche, crevasse, ice fall, wind chill-whether these words are cause for alarm or inspiration, this gorgeously photographed, meticulously researched book will bring the world's tallest mountain into crisp focus. The excitement, risk and challenge of trekking to and climbing Mount Everest is brought to life here, combined with such practical aspects as what gear to pack and what you need to know before setting off. Young would-be adventurers will also gain insight into the Sherpa people who have lived with the mountain for centuries. This book features spectacular photography from a world-class adventure photographer and is a great classroom resource packed with facts, figures and cultural information.
